What's On...

Thought it would be a good idea to post a thread where we can list events that are happening across the country that people might be interested in. These can range from small local events and coffee mornings, to big national conferences.

If you hear of one, could you PM any mod or admin with the information and (if possible) a link to more information about it online. We'll then add the information to the thread here.

If you want to discuss any of the events, please open a new topic. I'll keep this thread locked, so it's just information that appears here.
